    Something don't seem right to me.....

    Why is it not graded?

    Why start at 20% of bid?

    Walk away if I was you.....

    Ungraded coins+polished looking coin+Ebay= be careful.

    Seems like the seller has been mentioned in the forums, maybe do a search?

    In a PCGS PR64 holder, it's a $4,000 coin and in a 65 holder it's a lot more. If you owned it and it was legit, wouldn't you spend the $30 +S/H/I to get it graded?

    Run, do not walk, away!!

    There is no way this ebay lot can be as described. Anyone who knows coins would have such a coin in a PCGS or NGC holder before trying to sell it.

    so just cuz you start a coin off at 1 cent raw or slabbed means stay away? I can see a bit more with raw coins, but I am likeing this coin... I may even bid...

    Do a search on the seller and you will see they have been discussed often.

    I could be wrong, but I think the seller photoshopped the hell out of that coin. The bottom half of both sides is 3-dimensional, but the top half looks drawn. It almost looks like he took the top half of a drawing and the bottom half of a coin and blended them together with a gradient. I'd stay away.
    If you haven't noticed, I'm single and miserable and I've got four albums of bitching about it that I would offer as proof.
